Literary Circle Book Club Please come join our literary discussion and gathering this Summer for our sixth book choice of the year!

Please join the Newnan Carnegie Library and Sarah Leatherman as we go on a journey of sound healing. We will begin with a few minutes of gentle movement to relax you, then work through some guided breath-work practices to help center and focus the mind, followed by an immersion of sound allowing you to drift into a meditative state. Relaxation and focusing on the sound can have a calming effect, bring you more into the present moment, and help to create a deeper relationship with Self. Instruments you will experience include crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, gongs, koshi chimes, seed chimes, and thunder sticks.

**Participants are welcome to bring props or yoga mats to sit or lay on. Some supplies will be available for use.
